ebooks

I don't think so. I can't read an entire novel online, and i think there are a number of people out there that feel the same way. I think it's a good invention for those people who can, however, I don't see it taking that much business away from bookstores.

I think that the number of e-books have greatly increased which is good for consumers. There are a lot of information put into e-books available for free or for a small fee. I observed that there is a significant decrease in the purchase of books in book stores since there are e-book versions which are free to download. I am using e-books rather than buy at bookstores.

I don't think the presence of ebooks will considerably effect paper books selling. Maybe it's different for a lot of people, but many readers (me included) still love the feel of paper cuts and the smell of freshly printed paper.

Well maybe a little, but not that much that will affect severly the normal books. I think that ebooks are more difficul to read than normal books. I have tried to read from ebooks but i just cant do it. Although thats just me and surely there are others who just download the ebook.

I think that reading a physical paper book is a lot nicer than reading one onscreen. I mean, you get all these "studies" saying that you should spend less time in front of your computer, and putting books online seems a little counter-productive in that sense.

Also, you can't really curl up in bed with your computer...it just isn't the same as curling up with a good book.:)

I hszforu,

Though we find lots and lots of ebooks available on net people still buy the books and read it beacause of its fragrance smell which we get it from the newly printed books

yes obviously, cuase firstly e-books are more handy to read and conserve, they will last forever and afterall you will get lots of books from internet absolutely free
